“The Sinking Titanic” Diorama

The sinking of the Titanic occurred on April 14-15, 1912, when the British passenger liner struck an iceberg during its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City.

The disaster resulted in the deaths of over 1,500 people, making it one of the deadliest maritime disasters in history. Despite being equipped with advanced safety features for its time, such as watertight compartments and wireless communication, the Titanic’s sinking was exacerbated by factors including inadequate lifeboat capacity and a lack of adherence to safety procedures. The tragedy prompted significant changes in maritime safety regulations and has since become one of the most iconic and studied events in history.
